Talk to Us

INSPIRATION: Last year I didn’t fare too well in Melbourne’s lockdown, and I now find myself anxious leading up to any lockdown announcement. Choosing and planning new meals to try from delicious. has given me some joy and has made our family meals more special in these times. We are (slowly!) making our way through Georgie Esdaile’s ‘Winter Harvest’ (August issue). The maple-roasted pears with nut crumble was an easy one to involve Little Miss and will be a family favourite for quite a while! Thank you for the inspiration to keep us going. Nikkita Venville

POSH PIE: My Londoner husband, a good but basic cook, took a fancy to Darren Robertson’s creamy fish pie with mushy peas, in the June issue. I suggested he give it a go – just follow the recipe. He even ‘poshed it up’ with the pastry trimmings! We scoffed the whole pie – perfect! Thanks for the inspo! Patt Hamilton

RECIPE FOR LOCKDOWN: For years I’ve had the thrill of my delicious. magazine arriving in the post, but with this August edition I’ve run out of sticky notes to mark the irresistible recipes. No guessing what I’ll be doing in lockdown! Heather England

GIVING GIFT: My spatula, which was a free gift in a very early edition of delicious., has been much loved and much used! I have used it to make many of the recipes found in subsequent delicious. magazines. It has outlasted many other spatulas I have bought since this one arrived in my kitchen. I use it every day and it has become a family treasure! Di Adriaans
